To achieve that, our team of IT experts attends weekly training sessions conducted by various IT solution providers. Based on our extensive experience and sales volume with the suppliers, we receive exclusive, direct and usually in-person training from these suppliers. Our Tech Talks blog series offers a snapshot of these educational sessions.

A prominent insurance provider wanted to analyze and improve call center performance. However, they could only manually assess 5 percent of customer interactions, meaning they missed out on tons of valuable information that could inform coaching efforts.

To monitor 100 percent of interactions, the company turned to our partner, a leading conversational automation solution provider, for speech analytics. With the platform’s root cause analysis capabilities, the insurer could identify specific differences between high-performing agents and their peers. These analytics informed customized training sessions and ultimately led to a 48 percent increase in sales.
